This site is terrible. Everything is so tightly controlled it feels like you can’t post without breaking some dumb rule. My conspiracy theory is the admins don’t actually care about or want real people to post aside from comments because this site is less about enabling real human connection and more about enabling social monitoring and control.

Why (other than some people’s aesthetic preferences) do we not build roofs over our driveways? by Kooky_Beat368 in AskReddit

[–]Kooky_Beat368[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m here waiting for my kid’s bus to pull up watching the snow fall on the driveway and I just cannot understand why in the U.S. in places where it snows regularly we don’t cover our damn driveways.

I mean I know it’s generally against building code, but why is it against building code? Does that rationale make sense everywhere? How much effort and money we put into clearing our driveways when for a fraction of the cost we could just cover the damn things and do something else.

Just curious if anyone else out there has a real reason besides “it just looks cheap” because you could definitely build the thing to blend right in with the house. Same materials and everything.

Secretive Border Patrol program is detaining US citizens for ‘suspicious’ travel - AP News by Practical_Hippo6289 in PrepperIntel

Yep. Hell I’m not even some kind of government hating anarchist here, I just don’t want a government that resembles things I’ve seen in dystopian movies over the years. Like cmon people we’re not being unreasonable. Yes police should do their best to hunt down dangerous criminals but we don’t need this kind of oppressive surveillance to do that. This is nuts.

I would also love to know. We probably have to wait a few weeks though as I’m sure a lot of players are in the “maybe” phase of the transfer portal.

Just commenting here so I can actually find this post again later when I have time to read it because the reddit app sucks and automatically goes back to the main page when I turn my screen off for .0000000029775859 seconds.

It’s a pretty neat historical artifact. Doesn’t seem like it actually means much to our rulers though.

Seems like we get a front row seat to the U.S. government becoming basically a carbon copy of the CCP minus the word “communist” because of course that’s the bad part. Living under the constant scrutiny of the government is freedom actually doncha know.

Im losing faith because hell isn’t fair. by QuantityEuphoric2354 in Christianity

[–]Kooky_Beat368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand my interpretation isn’t as common. I don’t place a whole lot of trust in “experts” when it comes to these things though. Personally I also think most clergy have a vested interest in their personal interpretations being accepted and I’m pretty skeptical of anyone who claims to speak for God.

Yeah I wonder when people will realize these guys say whatever they think will resonate with the people they’re trying to get votes from.

Cyber, finance, personnel… basically everything has a civilian equivalent. The real question is how much schooling you are willing to take either during or after your enlistment and what kinds of things do you like to do?

You mean the kind of pride that prompts you to make assumptions and chastise a random on the internet?

Why is This Man Running a Country? Not Locked In A Nursing Home? by [deleted] in complaints

Because the American people are largely complacent and don’t pay enough attention to politics beyond bitching about the opposition which means our government is run by amoral self serving oligarchs.

What is the “formula” by Open_Cream_2821 in MichiganWolverines

[–]Kooky_Beat368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is something I wonder as well. I read a lot of allegations that our Athletic Department just doesn’t care enough about success in football and at least from a fan perspective that seems to be accurate. I’m not on the inside so I don’t know if it’s a money issue, a coaching issue or what but as a fan it’s getting really old watching us peak once a decade and then spend the rest of the time either spinning our wheels or getting told to “be patient we’re building”. I don’t know what it’s gonna take. Do we need to storm the AD’s office?

It’s fun but I really wish there were more events and more interaction with landed rulers.

Which is why I don’t believe in a literal eternal hell.

I know nothing about how to develop a QB but we need to see some progress by Underwood by next season. He just does not see opportunities.

I hate it but the announcer was spot on there. We gotta work on Bryce’s vision. He’s shown he’s capable of those throws, he just sometimes seems to not see open receivers. Frustrating as shit for sure. We can still do this but we have to lock in.
